to think about,” said Charles Wright
of the Military Affairs Branch at
Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in
Goldsboro. "His thinking parallels a
lot of the thinking that I have read
about concerning neo-conservatism ”
The convention also addressed
other problems that blacks face.
By the turn of the century, some
predict, 70 percent of black males will
never have held a job. One in four
young black males ir in prison, on
probation or parole, and murder is
the leading cause of death among
them.
“This is the community’s
reponsibility,” said Kelly M.
Alexander, Jr., the state NAACP
president. “The black community is
one large, extended family.”

times as likely as whites to live in
poverty.
•Black females over age 65 are the
poorest of all age and ethnic groups.
Of the 874 reported homicides in the
city of Los Angeles in 1989, 374 of
them were black victims.
Tensions arise when the blacks see
that the newcomers own the
businesses, she said. “Cultural
factors play a part," she said, “but
it’s a societal problem. If the blacks
were still working, there would be
less tension.”
Ms. Solomon, who is black,
managed the development of the
study.
Political strength also is diluted
when blacks live in widely scatterred
areas, she said.
“It is going to be absolutely
necessary that the black community
establish coalitions in the future,"
Ms. Solomon said. “We have
problems that are shared by other
groups. And building a coalition can
compensate for political power lost
on the basis of reduced numbers.”
Relations between blacks and
Koreans are particularly strained
because of a rash of violent
confrontations in Korean-owned
stores in black neighborhoods.
Korean grocer Soon Ja Du was
convicted last week of voluntary
manslaughter for killing a black
teenage girl in a dispute over a bottle
of orange juice.
Since that shooting in March, two
Korean merchants and two blacks
have been killed in South Central
markets, some of which have beep
subjected to boycotts.
The report noted that most
businesses in black areas are owned
by other ethnic groups such as
Koreans so that the money does not
stay in the black community.
“Many African-American leaders
believe that the estimated number of
times » dollar turns over in the
traditional African-American
community is one time,” the study
said.
The rate that blacks participated in
the labor force has declined steadily
since 1970, the report said.
The employment rate of blacks in
1970 was 83.3 percent. It declined to
69.1 percent in 1987-88. Authors of the
report attribute this partially to the
demise of unskilled manufacturing
jobs due to widespread plant
closures.

Funding For Domestic
Assistance Programs Up
Funding of federal domestic
assistance programs increased by $40
billion in the past fiscal year,
accoring to “Government Assistance
Almanac 1991-92”. Some $736 billion
worth of assistance is now available
from the federal government through
1,183 programs.
Now in its fifth edition,
“Government Assistance Almanac”
is a guide to federal financial and
other domestic assistance programs.
It covers grants, loans, insurance,
personal payments and benefits,
subsidies, fellowships, scholarships,
traineeships, technical information,
advisory services, investigation of
complaints, and sales and donations
of federal property.
The work also provides
comparative tables on funding for the
last four fiscal years, with the 50
largest and 50 smallest programs for
fiscal year 1990 highlighted. “The
programs listed in the tables are now
profusely footnoted to provide
additional detail on the nature of
funding,” according to J. Robert
Dumouchel, editor of the almanac.
Also covered in the “Government
Assistance Almanac” are non
financial programs, such as technical
information, business and consumer
advisory services, citizenship
counseling, and the like. The 11,000
line index is now more user-friendly
tan ever, with extensive referencing
and cross-referencing. For ease of
use, programs providing financial
assistance are italicized in the book's
index.
A reviewer for the Wall Street
Journal wrote about a previous
edition of the guide: “Mr. Dumouchel
has detailed at least one subsidy for
virtually every human activity.”
Says Dumouchel: “There are some
very useful assistance programs for
businesses, students, farmers,
artists, researchers, the elderly,
youth, and minority groups that I'm
sure aren’t well known but that could
be used effectively by more
participants.” A Washington, DC
resident, Dumouchel has worked wilh
federal programs for 30 years,
personally helping private
developers, researchers, small
businesses, municipalities, and non
profit groups obtain and administer
more than one-quarter of a billion
dollars in federal contracts, loans,
insurance and grants.

Ms. Hill Says Objecthw Achicwd
NEW YORK <AP> - Anita Hill says
she has accomplished what she set
out to do despite Clarence Thomas'
confirmation to the U. S. Supreme
Court.
Hill, a University of Oklahoma law
professor, told The New York Times
in a story published last Thursday she
never expected to find herself in the
middle of a political fight when she
accused Thomas of sexual
harassment.
“I have managed in my own mind
to separate out the idea of justice,
justice being that something happens
to an individual." Hill told the
newspaper.
"For me it is enough justice getting
it heard. I just wanted people to know
and understand that this bad
happened." Hill said.

Workshop Held to Make Local
Companies Aware Of Chemical Storage
Many Wake County businesses are
unaware of a federal law that
requires companies as diverse as
service stations, dry cleaners and
large manufacturing facilities to
report information annually to the
government about the chemicals they
use or store on site.
A chemical emergency
preparedness workshop was held
recently to increase awareness of the
law's requirements and to encourage
compliance by companies affected.
“The law is a very complicated
one,” said Martin Chriscoe,
chairman of the Wake County Local
Emergency Planning Committee and
director of Wake County Emergency
Management. “The workshop helped
us get the word out to more
businesses that they may net be in
compliance and could potentially be
fined.”
Approximately 677 facilities in
Wake County have been identified as
subject to the law, known as Title III
of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986, or more
commonly, SARA Title III, Chriscoe
said. Many other businesses may
need to report but are unaware of the
law’s requirements.

The Woman Who “Changed Business Forever”
According to Inc. Magazine. Anita
Roddick “has changed business for
ever." Fifteen years ago, Anita
Roddick was a wife and mother in
Littlehampton, England. Today she
heads The Body Shop, Great Britain's
largest retail exporter, a company
devoted to providing inexpensive,
natural personal-care products. Aside
from being one of Britain’s top busi
ness women, Roddick uses her stores
to spread the word about environ
mental and social concerns. The Body
Shop has cried out against animal
testing, against destruction of the rain
forest, and against'violations of hu
man rights. In addition, the shops
reduce, reuse and recycle waste when
ever possible.
The products sold in The Body
Shop echo Anita's social and envi
ronmental awareness. She uses her
extensive experience traveling and her
knowledge of indigenous cultures to
incorporate age-old hygiene secrets
into such products as vegetable soaps
in endangered animals’ shapes, Bra
zilian nut oils, and Moroccan
rhasshoul mud shampoo. These cre
ations, and all of The Body Shops’
products and stores, showcase the
company’s dedication to end exploi
tation while still posting profits.
The result of this unconventional
business ethic? For more than a de
cade. The Body Shop has posted av
erage annual growth of close to SO
percent. With more than 650 stores
internationally, The Body Shop has
begun a push in the United States.
There are currently 54 US shops, and
more stores are opening here every
week.
Anita has chronicled her world*
wide adventures and her uncommon
business philosophies in her new
book, Body and Soul (Crown Pub
lishers), available at your local book
store. As for her innovative products,
you can discover these yourself by
ordering a mail order catalog or vis
iting The Body Shop nearest you. For
information call 1-800-541-2535.
“Some business owners assume
that only large chemical companies
need to file reports about their
chemicals,’’ Chriscoe explained.
“That’s not true. Many types apd
sizes of businesses—from small paint
companies to large commercial
manufacturing facilities—are
obligated to report under SARA Title
III, depending upon the type and
amount of chemicals they have on
site.”
More than 125 people attended the
workshop, “Communications On
Site-With Insight,” which was held
at the Wake County Office Park. The
workshop featured sessions on
communications during an
emergency, SARA Title III, new
North Carolina fire code
requirements and Wake County’s
hazardous materials information
storage box system.
The workshop was sponsored by the
Wake County Local Emergency
Planning Committee and Wake
County Emergency Management.
Sara Title III requires all
communities across the nation to
form Local Emergency Planning
Committees. Each LEPC is charged
with developing and improving local
emergency response plans with
providing information to the public
about hazardous materials.
The Wake County LEPC is
comprised 37 volunteers representing
county and state agencies, law
enforcement and fire departments,
emergency medical and rescue
services, hospitals, businesses,
industries and the media.
Citizens who are interested in the
Wake County emergency response
plan, chemical inventory forms,
facility records and follow-up
emergency notices, may call 856-M80
for an appointment.

Taxpayers Discuss Tax Revolt To Protest
Unconstitutional Attack Against Nation of Yahweh
Taxpayers are calling the People For
Truth (PFT) to state “they got the mes
sage” from the interview with the Na
tional Tax Payers for Justice (NTPJ).
The nation's tax base has learned —
that elected official and their appoin
tees are our servants — that as our
servants, their jobs are dependent on
our votes and our taxes—that we have
a right to withhold our taxes from an
unconstitutional government — and
that we have the votes to replace ser
vants who do not serve us or our con
cerns; they can no longer ignore our
voices and remain in office.
One million of these voters, tax
payers and concerned citizens of all
ethnic backgrounds have signed peti
tions demanding that the unconstitu
tional indictment that labels the
“Nation of Yahweh” as racketeers be
dismissed now. If permitted to stand,
this case could set a precedent against
all religions under R.I.C.O.
Our servants have spent and bor
rowed us into a $345 billion national
deficit, while they bounce personal
checks that cost us hundreds of
thousands of dollars in returned check
fees. These are the same servants that
are responsible for passing RJ.C.O.
and Pre-Trial Detention into law. They
must now know that the RJ.C.O.
monster has gotten out of control
and has become a national concern
in its use against religions, as well as
be made aware that Pre-Trial Deten
tion has become a tool of the courts
that can be applied as a punishment
before any conviction in violation of
basic human rights and the world’s
greatest constitution.
Our servants need to answer this
question, “Why has Yahweh Ben Yah
weh been held as a political prisoner
for 12 months?" Could it be that he
taught his followers ‘To do for them
selves," and dared to build a $250 mil
lion empire for African-Americans
without government assistance? Con
servatives, as well as liberals, can be
proud of how Yahweh Ben Yahweh
r /-'V % V- &\\
helped to avoid another demand on
government spending. Yahweh Ben
Yahweh is “The Point of Ught” in a
troubled economy. He and his fol
lowers of Yahweh have been held long
enough for setting a perfect role model
for all people to follow.
Remember, we are calling our ser
vants to demand the release of Yahweh
Ben Yahweh and His followers until
victory!!!
Why is the US Government attacking YatmehBen Yahweh? Why does the government want to put an end to his good works?
What if Yahweh Ben Yahweh is the Christ promised to return? Todndthe answers io ttme questions, welch “from Poverty
